Fun Weekend!

You know those weekends you just want to bottle up and re live over and over?
I had one of those this past weekend.
I had Fridy off of work and got to spend the day with my Mom.
It was so nice to have her over.
We went to lunch and then came back to my house and relaxed on the couch while watching CNN and all the craziness and breaking news.

A little before 5, Phil and Mar dropped off the girls at my house and we got to babysit them for a few hours while they went on a date. 
They were perfect...

Saturday morning Brad and I slept in (which is rare) and we just relaxed all morning with no plans and nothing to do.
That afternoon we went to Thanksgiving Point to the the tulip festival.
Since we bought an annual pass we also took advantage of the wool and lamb festival too.
We then went to JCW's and ate WAY too much.
Checked out the new Traverse Mountain Outlet stores.
Walked around Cableas.
and...
went back to Thanksgiving Point to watch Oblivian on D Box.
It was really REALLY good!

Sunday, we went to church and then came home napped and caught up on some TV shows from last week.
Now tell me that wasn't a great weekend....
;)
It always goes way too fast!
Brad and I at the tulip festival in the same spot we were interviewed last year and put in the pater... :)


Dale dancing

Dale lately has been all about posting YouTube videos.
It's really cute, every time he comes over he has a new video to show us...
We laughed SO hard at this video.
Dale was wearing a Halloween outfit Brad bought him when he was around 5. Let's just say it's a little snug...
What a ham!
That's one of the many reasons we love this kid!
Enjoy :)

Catching Up...

A few weeks ago...Brad, Dale and I went down to Spanish Fork to see our nephew Gavin in his school play. He had the role of  King Arthur and did such a great job!
It was a great play.
*funny story....Dale sat in between Brad and I during the play. After it ended Dale held out his hand and said here you go Suzie. When I looked to see what was in his hand it was his TOOTH!
He sat there and wiggled on it and eventually pulled it out. What a funny kid. I promise that if I were a kid and pulled my tooth out during my cousins play I would have been really dramatic about it. Just sayin...
Here is the whole group that was there that night. Afterwards Russ and Laura had us over for ice cream sundaes. Yummy!

Easter was great this year. It's my favorite holiday...
Each Easter I always strive to be a better person. I love the Atonement. It is real, and wonderful and has helped me so much in so many ways. I am so grateful for my older brother and the love he showed all of us by atoning for our sins. The Resurrection is beautiful. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is such a blessing. I love my Savior and the gospel with all my heart.
The Easter bunny brought our family this picture.
It's beautiful and we love it!
He also brought us way too much candy!
We celebrated at my Grandma's house with my family, cousins, Aunts and Uncles.
Haystacks were on the menu as always and I ate way WAY too much.
I love my husband!

Brad and I went to the Blaze game last weekend....even though they lost (by a lot) We still had a blast!

A few weeks ago Dale earned his 'Arrow of Light' award at the Blue and Gold dinner.
What an awesome kid...

This past Friday night, Brad and I went to The Airborne Toxic Event concert at the depot. 
Thanks to Emily for babysitting Dale for us.
It was such a blast...
The Giants season started again....bring on baseball season!
We are loving this spring weather. The birds are chirping, our tulips are blooming and the weather is perfect.
We are loving our low key Conference weekend.
It always goes way too fast!
